I guess that Dirk must be pretty good because he's leading a Mavs team with no Parrish and/or McHale in the post to a record that outshines anything that that team could manage to pull off in its prime.

Pull your head out of the sand.

Take your mouth of Nowitski's private area. Dallas is not comparable to even the Bad Boys of Motown. You know why? They will NEVER get rings. NEVER. They'd be lucky to string together a 5 game win streak against the teams of the 70s and 80s.
